It&#8217;s known locally as the &#8220;garden of the Costa del Sol&#8221; for its flower-filled balconies and window boxes, concentrated along streets such as Calle Real and around Plaza de las Flores, the old town&#8217;s main square. The town hall&#8217;s mural route runs through the old town too, with dozens of large-scale paintings on building facades as part of an ongoing public art initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The old town sits apart from the newer coastal urbanisations that dominate much of the Costa del Sol: buildings are low-rise, whitewashed, and mostly two to three storeys, following the street pattern that predates the tourism boom. It&#8217;s walkable to the marina, the town beach, and the Orchidarium, Estepona&#8217;s covered botanical garden near the bus station. The weekly street market and a mix of independent shops, bars and small restaurants along the pedestrianised lanes keep the area busy without the high-rise density found further along the coast.<\/p>\n<p>Property here is mostly resale townhouses and apartments in converted or renovated period buildings, rather than new-build developments \u2014 space is limited by the old town&#8217;s footprint, so stock turns over slowly and comes largely through resale and renovation projects rather than off-plan schemes.<\/p>\n<h2>El casco antiguo en 2026<\/h2>\n<p>La obra nueva ha llegado al casco antiguo. <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/es\/obra-nueva\/paraiso-de-azahar\/\">Para\u00edso de Azahar<\/a>, seis viviendas desde aproximadamente 495.000 euros, est\u00e1 catalogada en el casco antiguo propiamente, y alrededor en el centro de la localidad listamos <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/es\/obra-nueva\/san-lorenzo-52\/\">San Lorenzo 52<\/a> desde aproximadamente 699.000, <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/es\/obra-nueva\/atelier-4\/\">Atelier 4<\/a> junto al puerto desde aproximadamente 3,2 millones, <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/es\/obra-nueva\/nacare\/\">Nacar\u00e9<\/a> desde aproximadamente 2,5 millones, <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/es\/obra-nueva\/tyrian\/\">Tyrian<\/a> desde aproximadamente 3,55 millones, <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/es\/obra-nueva\/the-oak-48\/\">The Oak 48<\/a> desde aproximadamente 375.000 y <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/es\/obra-nueva\/looa-estepona\/\">Looa<\/a> desde aproximadamente 549.000, con todos los proyectos de la localidad en <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/es\/obra-nueva\/estepona\/\">nuestra p\u00e1gina de nuevos desarrollos de Estepona<\/a>.

Daily life is walkable: market, shops, bars and the beach are all close by.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfCu\u00e1les son los precios de las propiedades en el casco antiguo?<\/h3>\n<p>Prices have moved up over the past couple of years. Renovated or resale townhouses in the old town are currently running from roughly \u20ac350,000 up toward \u20ac850,000-\u20ac1,000,000 depending on size and condition, and new-build or fully renovated apartments are typically in the \u20ac440,000-\u20ac600,000 range. These are approximate current-market figures and should be checked against live listings, as the old town&#8217;s small, mostly-resale stock means individual prices vary a lot by street and building.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfEst\u00e1 el casco antiguo a distancia de paseo de la playa?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 the old town borders the seafront area and it&#8217;s a short walk from the pedestrian streets to Estepona&#8217;s town beach and marina.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfTiene el casco antiguo obra nueva?<\/h3>\n<p>Very little. Most stock is resale \u2014 apartments and townhouses in existing period buildings \u2014 because the old town&#8217;s footprint leaves little room for new construction; buyers here are typically looking at renovation rather than off-plan.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you need a car in Estepona&#8217;s old town?<\/h3>\n<p>No para la vida diaria. El casco antiguo es accesible a pie hacia las tiendas, el mercado, la playa y el puerto deportivo. Un coche es \u00fatil para desplazamientos m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de Estepona.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfHay obra nueva en el casco antiguo de Estepona?<\/h3>\n<p>S\u00ed, ahora. Para\u00edso de Azahar, seis viviendas desde aproximadamente 495.000 euros, est\u00e1 dentro del casco antiguo, y el centro de la localidad alrededor tiene San Lorenzo 52, The Oak 48, Looa, Nacar\u00e9, Tyrian y Atelier 4 junto al puerto, desde aproximadamente 375.000 hasta varios millones. La mayor\u00eda son edificios peque\u00f1os en solares de relleno, por lo que se agotan r\u00e1pidamente.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto cuesta un apartamento en el casco antiguo de Estepona en 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>La reventa en y alrededor del centro oscila entre aproximadamente 325.000 euros por un dormitorio junto al puerto hasta 700.000 y m\u00e1s por un tres dormitorios reformado con terraza. La obra nueva comienza en aproximadamente 375.000 en The Oak 48 y 495.000 dentro del casco antiguo en Para\u00edso de Azahar.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfQu\u00e9 playa utilizan los residentes del casco antiguo?<\/h3>\n<p>El Cristo, la cala de 680 metros al otro lado del puerto, aproximadamente ocho minutos a pie atravesando el puerto: agua tranquila y poco profunda, socorristas del 15 de junio al 15 de septiembre, \u00e1rboles para sombra y ba\u00f1os asistidos gratuitos. La Rada, la playa de la localidad de 2,6 kil\u00f3metros con paseo mar\u00edtimo, comienza en el otro extremo del casco antiguo.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo es el eclipse de 2027 en Estepona?<\/h3>\n<p>Lunes 2 de agosto de 2027, a media ma\u00f1ana. La totalidad en Estepona dura aproximadamente tres minutos y cuarenta segundos alrededor de las 10:48, una de las duraciones m\u00e1s largas en toda la trayectoria, y los datos de cobertura nubosa de la AEMET para principios de agosto hacen que este tramo de costa sea uno de los lugares m\u00e1s fiables para verlo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Casco Antiguo?
